What is the Zen Coaching Training? 


"I feel inspired, stimulated, energized, softer, happier. I have gained confidence in myself as a coach, and see new possibilities for me. I have appreciated that it has been playful and with plenty of laughs."
Zen Coaching training participant

Participants receive a diploma and become certified Zen Coaches upon completed training, including completion of practice requirements.

You can do part 1, 'Relaxing Into Being', before committing to the full training.

Individual coaching and personal practice is carried out between modules. 

The Zen Coaching training is both a personal growth journey, and training in how to support others through a specific and yet very natural listening process.

The Zen Coaching training:

The training includes 19 or 20 days of teaching diveded into 4, 5 or 7 modules, depending on which country it is offered in (see specific info about each country). The main topics covered in each module include the ones described below. For each topic, there is both a personal development process, and exploring specific coaching tools related to the topic.


Relaxing Into Being
In this part we explore the simplicity and power of stopping and simply being - enjoying this moment as it is. As we relax into Being, we also access our true, full and amazing inner potential of peace, strength, joy, love, freedom, trust, clarity and creativity. This is also the foundation of powerful listening and being of deep support to others.


Living with Curiosity & Trust

Curiosity and trust are the foundation for living a life of joy, fulfilment, expansion, growth and ease. We explore what supports the manifestation of these qualities, and what blocks it. We explore also how these qualities are essential in the work of a coach, and in the practice of asking powerful questions from intuition.


Deep Healing & Transformation
We explore deep listening, personal transformation and powerful coaching tools. We explore the 'hidden rooms' inside that we often are afraid of - but that offer a potent door to our full potential as human beings, when we dare open the doors, enter and explore with an open heart and mind.


Relating from the Heart

We enter deeper into the heart, into the fundamentals of awareness, and of listening and effective questioning. We explore the principles and practice of nonviolent (heart-connecting) communication. We look into the art of honest and empathic relationships in all areas of life - family, love life, friendships, work, and social action.


Acting from Being

We explore action and manifestation from a state of ease and effortlessness - in other words, living according to our heart and our full potential in everyday life. We also explore the details of the coaching session, the coaching relationship, the ethics of coaching, our relationship with money, authentic marketing, and on transforming inner blocks to succeeding with a private coaching practice.



Benefits:

You may join the training just for your personal benefit, including the benefit of your personal relationships, or in order to start working professionally as a coach, or to gain skills to be used in your existing role as manager, coach, therapist or similar. 

Taking part in the Zen Coaching training also enables you to become part of a growing network of people trained in Zen Coaching. The purpose of this network is to have fun together, make friends, stay connected, rest as awareness, and learn from each other and keep the Zen Coaching approach alive in ourselves and the world. The Zen Coaching network will also help us expand and/or strengthen our personal coaching practice if we are offering coaching to clients. 


Further benefits of doing the Zen Coaching Training:

Zen Coaching will help you discover self-acceptance, inner stillness and inner richness.

It will help you discover the power of relaxing into the present, and experience the ease and fulfillment of living in effortless flow.

It will improve your ability to connect with yourself and others from your own inner center, responding rather than reacting, even in challenging situations.

You will learn how to support others as a coach, and discover or deepen your ability to help people transform blocks and release their potential through your presence and simple, powerful questions.

The training in Sweden is residential and is happening yearly at Ängsbacka, a beautiful place for peace and relaxation in Molkom, Värmland. See www.angsbacka.se for more information. 


Who is the training suitable for?

Training in Zen Coaching is designed for people working with people, such as managers, teachers, social workers, coaches and counselors. The training is suitable for anyone who wants to support others from a deeper place than what is normally done in management, coaching and counselling. It is also valuable for you who are interested in connecting deeply with yourself and others, and who are looking for more fulfillment in all areas of life. During the training, you will go through a profound process of self-discovery, transformation and strengthening of presence.

After completion of the training, you will be able to support others to self-discovery, transformation, clarity and effective action in a coaching process based on effortless presence.

No special skills are required, although previous experience in management, coaching, counseling, meditation, non-violent communication and other forms of personal growth practice is a significant advantage.
